<p>This module provides an API for the network interface.</p>
<note>
<p>There is currently <em>no</em> support for Windows. </p>

<note>
<p>The content of this file is <em>only</em> valid if the system has
been built with 'socket' (esock) support, which is the default. </p>

<p>This type defines all addresses (and flags) associated with
the interface. </p>
<p>Not all fields of this map has to be present.
The flags field can be used to test for some of the fields.
For example <c>broadaddr</c> will only be present if the
<c>broadcast</c> flag is present in flags. </p>

<datatype>
<name name="ifaddrs_filter_map"/>
<desc>
<p>The <c>family</c> field can only have the (above) specified values
(and not all the values of socket:domain()). </p>
<p>The use of the <c>flags</c> field is that any flag provided must
exist for the interface. </p>
<p>For example, if <c>family</c> is set to <c>inet</c> and <c>flags</c>
to <c>[broadcast, multicast]</c> only interfaces with address family
<c>inet</c> and the flags <c>broadcast</c> and <c>multicast</c> will
be listed. </p>

</datatype>
<datatype>
<name name="ifaddrs_filter_fun"/>
<desc>
<p>For each <c>ifaddrs</c> entry, return either <c>true</c> to keep
the entry or <c>false</c> to discard the entry. </p>
<p>For example, to get an interface list which only contains
non-<c>loopback</c> <c>inet</c> interfaces: </p>
<code type="none"><![CDATA[
net:getifaddrs(fun(#{addr := #{family := inet},
flags := Flags}) ->
